Hi Mitchell
As far as I can tell the only thing that I can see is that there is a stopping sensor that never gets fired for 50037 so it rolls on into the crossover. Try removing the stopping sensors from the sections.
I tried emailing you last week but it was returned as undeliverable.

Dave,
Thanks but that is getting in too deep for me. I am not familiar with scripts nor how to implement your suggestion. Perhaps some future JMRI upgrade will address my request to expand the cars file.

SensorLog.py - does EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you very much!!

Wain

Dave -?

That is the exact message I was referring to.? I understand what Steve Young is saying about the massive amount of text being dumped into the system console should I turn that feature on, so I am going to look into the suggestion by?Bob Jacobsen (

Thanks all who replied!? It's been a while since I've put in new track with sensors, especially when no one documented which sensor went with which section of track :P

Regards,'

Dave,
I got that to work and could use a space in the data field but not in the column heading. Once a new column was created, I could insert new data for any roster entry directly in the new column. Overall, it is a bit clunky and has very limited flexibility. I could not get it to export to a Excel sheet.
The theory is great....any user could add any columns they wanted without messing up any JMRI activity. However, it would need to be a bit more user friendly and have a way to export and/or print out the file. Would need some menu options that were more straight forward about adding columns.
Paul D

Select any roster entry. Using the "Labels & Media" button* you will find a Roster Media pane.

In the Custom Roster Attributes text window, select the "..." Name in the last line. Type in your new attribute name and a Value. "Save to Roster" and quit JMRI.

Next time you open JMRI, there will be a new Column you can choose to display or not (right-click on the headings row).

* Preferences->Roster->Programmer->Format: Advanced will make the Roster Media pane visible every time you open a roster entry.

I can't find a way to embed a space in the Name field (two word heading).

Bob,
Sounds like it might work. I am running version 4.13.4 but I do not find any menu option to add columns under DecoderPro.? How is it done? I would like to try that out and experiment with it.
Paul D

I have had this problem with some Digikeijs decoders that cannot handle having several commands sent at full speed.

In the turnout table you can set how many times a command is given and the interval between them with the Edit Auto setting at the far right.?
Click on edit auto set a time and number of tries, give it a name and click ok. For each different time you need a different name. Once set this name can be selected for other decoders in the drop down to the left of Edit Auto. Note that must NOT be set to OFF when setting a time in Auto Edit, there are some default times already set that can be used.

For each decoder output I've set a different delay, with 50ms between them, i.e 100ms for the 1st, 150ms for the 2nd, 200ms for the 3rd and two tries.
This works 99% of the time for me, but experiment if it doesn't for you. Although thinking about it now, times which do not overlap would be better as the second 100ms will be at the same time as the first 200ms etc. and might explain the odd missed command. Note each decoder can have the same delays as the problem is in the decoder.
If the turnouts are controlled through Logix you can set a delay before an output signal is set, but that has to be done for every Logix for each output command, where as the turnout table needs doing once per output.

Signals changing before the route being set need interlocking between turnouts and signals. If you have feedback from the turnouts I use Logix to wait until the turnout is in position before changing signals.?
With no feedback I delay the signals until the route selection has happened and then put a delay in the Logix output commands for the signals.
This works well on our modular layout where both methods are used.

Wain,

Are you referring to the "Sensor ACTIVE came out of nowhere, no neighbors active for block" message?

If so, that appears to have been changed to a “debug” message with PR #4928.

The method that Steve Young posted will make it visible.

Dave Sand

Wain,

It only would show when a block went active and no other block connecting to
it were already active. This would point to errors when there were gaps in
the blocks.

Last I looked, it was still doing this.

Go to Preferences->Defaults. It's almost certain one or more items will have "Infernal" selected instead of NCE! This will be the cause of your woes.

That was it, thanks!

Hi Wain,

In your main JMRI program folder find default.lcf
Open this file with a text editor and at the bottom add?
log4j.category.jmri.Block=DEBUG

Your log files will grow at a massive rate so comment out when you're done,
if this was active by default it'd be difficult to see the wood from the trees in the logs,

Steve.

If you are using Logix, the actions have an option for delays. I think
routes also have a delay option, but I've not use those for a while.

Dave,

Ah...... I never caught that the jumpers themselves may not be there any
longer. I've grown up with them around and always parking them on the pins
(out of position) so they can always be changed later.

I don’t think JMRI ever did this automatically. There’s a script that does it:



Perhaps you used to have that starting as part of your preferences?

Noob here but I thought I'd chime in because I have the same hardware (powercab, nce usb, excluding sensors) and goals. So I figured I could learn something going through this thread. Withrottle was working before although it appeared something was misconfigured because I was unable to select "show cabs." I have the 1.65B version of the powercab and (I think) the v7 nce usb. Initially all I had to do was change from v6 in the connection preferences and then I should show cabs and withrottle still worked. Jumpers and rate were default at off/9600.

So then I continued with the instructions here and set all jumpers on and set the 19200 baud rate. I edited the usb cab address to 10 and while the service console correctly reports?NCE EPROM revision = 7.3.7, withrottle doesn't work. And now I've stepped back all my settings and withrottle still doesn't work. I see my phone connected in the withrottle server window and appear to acquire the loco but commands have no effect. I see them in the jmri system console but see nothing in the nce command monitor or the nce dcc packet analyzer (in case I should.) Additionally, no leds fire on the nce usb with withrottle commands. The jmri throttle doesn't work either but jmri turnout controls do work with an led a corresponding led flash on the nce usb and the command in the nce command monitor.? The powercab throttle continues to function.

So to the OP, I can see why you're having trouble. Following instructions for correct config appears to break things!

Any ideas how to fix them again?

I hadn't checked before but the withrottle turnout controls actually work too so it is just throttle that has stopped working in withrottle and jmri.
